[Concepts to improve medication safety in older patients].
Review in Innere Medizin (Heidelberg, Germany), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
There are specific high-risk situations in routine care that are particularly challenging for medication safety. Examples of such situations include patients with polypharmacy or transitions between health care sectors, such as hospital discharge. Both scenarios become more frequent with increasing patient age and often coincide with a reduced capacity to handle medication in daily life (medication management capacity). This combination increases the risk of critical incidents in care. Therefore, a number of strategies have been developed and tested that aim to increase medication safety. While some of these strategies specifically target older patients (e.g., medication reviews conducted in long-term care facilities), other strategies may be adapted for an older population (e.g., education and training for correct drug administration). This article provides an overview of strategies to improve medication safety in the older population and also highlights specific challenges that may arise when implementing these strategies.
